Abstract (en)

[origin: JPS6176714A] PURPOSE:To establish wide range of silencing performance by providing an expansion chamber in an exhaust silencer and an insertion tube and cylindrical sound absorptive substance in the expansion chamber to constitute an exhaust gas flow passage. CONSTITUTION:Expansion chambers 16-18 are formed by dividing the interior of the casing 2 of an exhaust silencer by partitions 11, 12 and there are provided an insertion tube 13 passing through the expansion chambers 16, 17 and a cylindrical sound absorptive substance 15 passing through the expansion chambers 17, 18. The cylindrical sound absorptive substance 15 includes a perforated tube 3, a metallic porous substance 7 provided concentrically with the perforated tube 3 and a thin film 9 interposed between the porous substance 7 and perforated tube 3. And also, a balance hole 10 for pressure regulation use is provided by cutting a part of the exhaust gas flow side of the metallic porous substance 7 and thin film 9. Thereby, silencing performance of low frequency band can be improved and the wide range of silencing performance also be established.
